2017 Grant Recipients

Masina Boatwright

September 2017Recipients

Masina and her 11-year-old son, Judge Boatwright, have received $2,719 to purchase a specialised trike. Judge has down syndrome among other impairments and a modified trike will help him integrate into his community and join his family when they bike to the park.

Trikes NZ will provide a custom trike for Judge complete with mountain bike tyres so he can ride any terrain and an attachment handle so his family is able to assist when he gets tired.

Being able to get out into the community on his trike will increase his socialisation, and help Judge with the life skills some of us take for granted.
